It's just sort of whatever emotional freeway you're on at the time. — Billie Joe Armstrong

When we react, we are, in effect, saying no to our interests, no to ourselves. — William Ury

You are nothing more than a transport vehicle and condominium for your microbiome. You might as well give them what they want. — Steven Gundry
